John died in a motorcycle accident in Virginia while he was in the navy. He was probably 19 or 20 years old at the time. John was elected captain of the boy's team and I think that says a lot about how we all felt about him. If you have any remembrances of John that you would like linked to his name, please send them.

• A memory by Don Cox:

When I saw the web page on John, tears came to my eyes. I think John passed away on April 18, 1965, just a month or so after his 21st birthday.  He had just signed up for another tour in the Navy and used his bonus money to buy a motorcycle. I remember seeing Lynn Makkonnen and Jim McNairy at the funeral.  Jim was in his Navy uniform.  Chuck Oesterling and I were pall bearers, and I think two of the others were Lenny Fields, who was captain of our swim team at Cody, and one of the younger Szuba boys.  I can't recall who the other two were.  Everyone was devastated. At the burial, I remember the playing of taps, the handing over of the American flag to his mother, and people having to help his mother away from the grave after it was all over. Forever Young is a fitting tribute.
